Check the record settings/preferences are set to stereo 44.1 kHz and 16bits (more if you desire).

Test there is audio coming into the recording program and check the levels aren't going above zero dB on the recording channel.

When you are ready, press record in your recording software, and start your mix.

When you are finished, make sure you stop the recording, and save the mix to a location of your choice.

NOTE: Because of the extra strain on your laptop's RAM and CPU while running Serato DJ and a recording program together, we recommend that you use a desktop or a separate laptop to record a mix if you are able to.

Recording with a SL 3

With the SL 3 you can use the AUX input to record your set using Serato DJ. Set up Serato DJ normally with your DJ setup and laptop.

NOTE: Make sure to set the AUX channels dip switch on the hardware to line level when recording.

Connect the RCA cable from an additional output from your DJ mixer (i.e. 'booth' or 'record' or '2nd master') into the AUX input of your SL 3.

Open the REC tab in Serato DJ.

Set the record source in Serato DJ to "Channel 3".

Test that your record levels aren't clipping (you can use the Gain knob to adjust this level).

When you are ready, press the red Record icon in Serato DJ, and start your mix.

When you are finished, type a file name (i.e."mixtape 1") into the Filename box and press the Save icon. Remember to enter a filename, otherwise your recording will be lost if you press 'Record' again before saving.
